📄 Tear-Off Hiring Flyer
The "now hiring" sheet with the little phone tabs people rip off the bottom. The tab widths, the type and the QR size are all worked out from the paper, and the page tells you in inches and millimetres how big the code came out, so you can check it before you print a hundred of them. Free, no signup.
1. The job
This is what people read from across the room, so keep it short.
Optional. This one button sends the business name, job title, pay, hours, location and whatever is already in the two boxes above to Castwright's AI helper, which writes the reasons back. It replaces the whole "Reasons to apply" box, so copy anything there you want to keep. A closing line you have already written is left alone, the suggested one is only used if that box is empty. Your logo and the finished files never leave this page.
2. How people apply
Fill in at least one of these, or the tear-off tabs come out blank.
Optional, and only worth it for a long link. A long web address needs more squares in the QR code, and on a tab that narrow the squares get too small to scan. This button sends the link you typed to Castwright's own shortener, which stores it so the short link keeps working.
3. Paper and look
Your image is read inside this page and drawn onto the canvas. It is never uploaded. An SVG needs a width and a height or a viewBox on it, or the browser cannot work out how big to draw it.

This is the sheet you get, drawn by the same code as the PDF.
Why the tabs are the hard part
Anyone can put "now hiring" on a page. The part that goes wrong in a word processor is the strip along the bottom. People draw a table, rotate the text by hand, and end up with tabs of different widths, a phone number in six point type, and a QR code squeezed down to half an inch where a phone camera gives up. This page works the geometry out instead: it takes the real paper width, subtracts a printable margin, divides what is left by the number of tabs, and sizes the number and the code to what is actually left over. It then tells you, in inches and millimetres, how big the code came out.
Eight tabs, not ten
Ten tabs looks generous and scans badly. On US Letter, ten tabs leaves each one about four fifths of an inch wide, and once the code has its quiet border the individual squares fall under half a millimetre, which is where phone cameras start failing in a dim corridor. Eight tabs is the sweet spot on both Letter and A4. If you pick ten anyway the readout will tell you plainly what you are getting, and you can turn the code off on the tabs and keep the phone number, which is what most people tear off for anyway.
Long links break QR codes
A booking or form link with a long random ID needs more squares, and more squares on the same small tab means smaller squares. That is the single most common reason a printed code will not scan. Shorten the link first, or point the code at a plain page on your own site. The readout on this page updates as you type so you can see the effect immediately rather than finding out after a hundred sheets are printed.
Making a batch of them
If you need one flyer per business rather than one flyer, the form fills itself from the address bar. Add ?biz=Riverside%20Grill&role=Line%20Cook&pay=%2418%20an%20hour&phone=5550142280&city=Riverside to this page's web address and every box arrives filled in, ready to check and download. The other names it reads are shift, link, eyebrow, tabline, footer, bullets (separate them with a vertical bar), accent, tabs, paper and theme. Nothing in the address bar makes the page contact anything, it only fills the form.
Two files, one design
The PDF is the sheet you staple to a noticeboard, a shop window or a supplier's counter. The 1080 by 1350 image is the same flyer without the tabs, sized for Instagram, Facebook and a community group post. Hiring rarely comes from one channel, so both come out of the same fields, and they always match because they are drawn by the same code.
